Wait. It's Only Wednesday?

I'm in the midst of the dryer cycle (and eating cookies) and thought I would take a few minutes to post.

Work is work. Life is life. On the plus side, there may be a date on Friday (after Tomokito's Bad Mommy Happy Hour).

How about we give away a Poor Little Vase Who Needs a Home? I have 20 pieces of pottery from this session. I have already picked the ONE I am allowed to keep. 6 others have been tagged as Xmas (or other) presents. Which means (if you are as good at math as I am), I have eleventygabillion pieces of pottery to get rid of ...

This cute little vase, glazed in warm jade and Lisa's favorite blue, is 4.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide (at the mouth). It's a little heavy, weighing less than my refrigerator and more than a martini glass. And it needs a Good Home. Somewhere to be loved. Somewhere to belong. And, that, my friends, is not in my apartment.

So, here's the deal ... take a look at the photos. Decide if you can provide a loving home for a kinda ugly vase. Leave a comment describing how you will create a Happy Home for it. And, like, maybe tomorrow or the next day, I'll decide who to send it to. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Being completely honest? I'd try to plant something in it, forget to water it and let it die. And then the handcrafted-with-love-by-none-other-than-VUBOQ-himself vase would sit on my counter behind my sink with a dead, dried up old skeleton of a plant for a year or two until my hubby gets sick of it, dumps the plant, washes the vase and puts it away in a cupboard which I will only discover a year or two later and be all, "Hey--here's that cool vase that VUBOQ made--I've totally been wondering where it was!"

Hi Vuboq, I came here via Bossy. I love blue glazes. I love pottery. My husband tends to break anything that comes into our home. SO... I would give your vase a good home by bringing it to my office, where it can reside safely on my desk and be admired all day long. I would also name it whatever you would like. Or Fred. Greetings from St. Louis where it is 12 degrees with a wind chill of -6. Take care, p.j.

Just found you thru Bossy. You're a keeper, aren't you? Love the vase. Very cute. Would look good in my dining room, up high, away from my 1 & 2 yr old children. Keep up the hard drinking with strangers.
